MEDICAL CITY of Dallas
Welcome to my
vistor

In the beginning the pain had been great,
The suffering had been so long as it had
seemed my fate.
Scared beyond belief, sight beyond the day
was short,
I had inclosed myself in my computer and
my room had become my fort.
Finally the day of recognition had come and
I had a choice to make,
It was to take a risk on surgery for I knew
it was a step I must take.
I prayed and I prayed some more and I walked
with the word that God gave to me,
He said have faith my son and soon the present
day shall not be.
Confused at the time I just trusted that all would
be well,
And as I went in for that first surgery I knew to
myself that the future would tell.
My surgery was over and there was no
turning back,
For I had started the ball rolling and it must
have been on track.
The ulcers were gone and a new beginning
was here,
And it seemed with all the kind faces I
lost all of my fear.
They treated me so kind and loving that at
first I thought it was a dream,
But I found that the doctors and nurses were
all on Gods team.
They helped me through the rough moments
as recovery pulled on,
For this was an experience that I had
never known.
The day that I was to leave I had problems,
But God pulled me through,
And as I returned home to heal I learned
a life which was new.
Time seemed to drag on as my weak body began to mend,
But the day of recognition had come and my wait had come to an end.
The final surgery which was to turn my world around,
I went to sleep and then I awoke and the beginning of the end I had found.
All was hooked up inside and then again I had to wait,
Because the healing process had begun again, for I had opened yet another gate.
A gate or even a door to another day and another time,
For here I was where I had begun this transaction which seemed as an ackward rhyme.
I seemed to recover, but then misfortune hit and I prayed God pull me through!
The pain, the pain it was so intense that I even prayed God bring me home to You,
But God wasn't ready for me to come home so He put His healing touch on me,
Then there was magic in the night which healed my wounds that I wanted for others to see.
My nurses all excited for I feel that I'd grown close to their hearts,
And I ecstatically ran amuck for knew this was the start.
God had started the wheels in motion and it was a down hill ride,
For I didn't have to have another surgery of which I could have died.
The nurses all so kind were as as angels pulling
me on.
The friendship there was astounding, it was one I had never known.
They took care of my every need and even put up with my tape of birds in my room,
But they kind of knew it was relieving myself of impending gloom.
I soon got well enough to go home and you know I kind of hated to go,
But I had come to my long awaited journeys end, so I left with a special glow.
I promised to come visit and to even sing them a song, but first I had this poem to write,
So this poem is to all of you beautiful people who are the reason for my restful night.
It's 3:00 AM and I'm going to sleep now and I just want to say I love you all,
And it's because of God working Through you that I now feel 10 feet tall.
